Summary Singer Sheryl Crow announced she is selling her Tesla and donating the proceeds to NPR, citing concerns over Elon Musk and his role in Trump’s administration.

Trump has also escalated attacks on NPR and PBS, with FCC chairman Brendan Carr launching an investigation into their broadcasts.

More Tesla owners need to follow suit. Get rid of those Swasticars.

So i should sell mine with a loss (still have a loan on it), and if I want a car with the same distance, I’ll have to take out another loan? No, thank you. I’ll stick with my FUCK ELON MUSK sticker I got made.

Americans shit all over Japanese cars and their drives for decades after Pearl Harbor…so, sell it or deal. I’m sorry about the stress and financial part but Emerald Elmo is not someone you want to directly support if at all possible.

I’d go right back to a Honda if they had a good EV option comparable to my Model 3 that wasn’t too expensive. My Model 3 is almost paid off, was looking forward to no longer having a payment. And their current EV options are lackluster, like most manufacturers. Instead Honda has been fucking around with Hydrogen bullshit for years and insisting it’s going to be a thing in the US just like Toyota.

I don’t give a shit about the luxury aspect and that’s 90% of the EV market. If they just made a Civic EV I’d buy one tomorrow, instead all they have is the Prologue now. And that’s actually made by GM, effectively a Chevy Blazer that’s badged as a Honda.

I liked my leaf, but that’s probably a rough decrease in range from a model 3

Fr I was quite disappointed when I found out about the prologue and that it is just a GM.

Thats fair. I’m sure they do make some nice cars. I’ll admit I have a bias against american cars.

Electric cars are a different beast. Also, since the auto bailouts, American cars have pretty much caught up with their foreign competitors in regards to reliability. Absent some damning reviews and boneheaded recalls, I’d focus mostly on pricing at this point.
